Wonder if they're also gang members.
As someone who lived in LA, I have no doubt. I'm not scared of cops generally, but my interactions with the LAPD and LASD have led me to believe that they see themselves as violent enforcers, not civilian protectors. They were threatening, quick to intimidate, and bragged about killing suspects... or as they put it, "bad guys". That they've got members in their ranks who would openly align with an indicted traitor only reinforces my opinion that both departments need serious reform.
